K panel, full front or wither gusset and higher head saddles/more curve to the tree can be a help fitting the "typical" Tb. Upswept panels can be a help with a short back. If your mare has a well-sprung rib cage, a gusseted panel in the rear would probably be a help as well, since the gusset will help flatten (laterally) the bearing surface. Black Country, Frank Baines, Albion, and the new Loxley/Bliss saddles would be worth considering. If you need a saddle with a more forward balance point, Prestige, Amerigo/Vega and a couple of the new Passier models offer that. And I'll second hoopoe's advice of working with a competent fitter who's going to spend time finding a saddle that really fits rather than simply trying to sell whatever s/he carries.

It's too bad if your local Schleese person isn't the best fitter because my horse is a big, WB-sized TB with high withers, too. She goes really well in a Schleese but Albion was a disaster for us (and it was semi-custom!). But I've always thought that our Albion issue was the 'fitter.'

Jeff Kalman (I've worked with him before; he reps, but is very objective & a good fitter). 734/726-0197.
Tish Graf (I've dealt with her a bit too, she's a Mike Scott grad) 708/927-2309
Cyndi Parks (I've dealt with her once or twice; she's in IL but covers some of MI) 231/233-0764
Pam Omer, SMS QSF (don't remember ever dealing with her, but she has the education) 517/499-0983.

Also, you ask about twists,
Twists are 100% personal preference.
The twist is the area where your crotch sits. I like a SUPER narrow twist. There are lines in the leather of the saddle that sort of make an hour glass shape (if you look straight down). If the most narrow part of the hour glass is an inch or so--it's a narrow twist. But the "feel" of the twist also has to do with the rise of the pommel. A low pommeled saddle may feel wider... a low pommel (or head) won't work on a TB with high withers.

I ended up getting a wide Amerigo Vega. It has a super narrow twist and I liked the knee blocks as well.

The saddle also has upswept panels which are good for the horse who has a very short back or high croup.

with this home made gusset--this saddle has fit every horse that I ride.
It works on my mom's XW paint horse without the gusset..
And it works on my Medium TB with a gel pad and the gusset.
It's a well balanced saddle and with some sort of padding--I can make it fit everyone.
I've never had a horse not like it.
The Amerigo Deep on the other hand (which in theory is about the same as the Vega)--was the only saddle that the gray horse hated. I thought he was going to dump me. The gullet was only about an inch wide!!!

this in bold.
The Vega was the one saddle that put in the front...and didn't scoot me back.

You really have to narrow down what you want as well as horse fit. There are too many options out there! Like buying tooth paste...I just stand and stare at all of the brands every time I have to purchase new toothpaste. lol

You might look into Balance saddles--their Nexus dressage saddle has a moderate twist but a very wide tree, and then you customize the fit with pads. They will do a fitting remotely (with videos and pictures) or, if Carol Brett (one of the founders) is doing a tour in the U.S. in the spring, as she often does, she'd is fantastic at in-person fitting.

I've ridden in the Nexus dressage saddle for the last 6 years, and I have a TB mare who is wide-backed but has some wither as well.

The Eden and Competitor have curvier trees and are suited to that back shape. The Vinici / Kur (which are leather but can have serge panels) tend to fit a horse with a decent wither and then a long, flat back. If your horse is short-backed, the rear panels may be too long and may cause issues.

these are some of the best people I've come across. Very professional, 100% honest. If somethings not quite right they'll take the saddle back no questions asked. all real riders and horse people. Super quality saddles, they can build one to fit literally any horse!
The only thing about these saddles is that they aren't super "built up", and they don't really "lock" you into place with big thigh blocks and a deep seat. I like it, but I've met one or two people that don't. Also, you have to wait a really long time for the saddles and the fitter to come (usually about six months), at least where I live.

It's easy to over-think the saddle issue. It's really pretty straightforward, though some fitters do try to make it a combination of alchemy and rocket science. Working with a good fitter can make a big difference. And if you'd like to read up on saddle fit, Dr. Harman's book is good; I'd also recommend "Saddle Fitting Essentials", by Galadriel Billington, available here: http://lorienstable.com/book/. It's one of the most straightforward, concise books on the subject that I've ever seen.
